Smart-Tech® Big Input Shaft KitPart No. 22121B-08K

Use of this kit requires installation of matching Sonnax performance converter kit BW-RK-4 or BW-RK-5.

The Sonnax Smart-Tech® big input shaft kit 22121B-08K is the ultimate solution to prevent input shaft spline-twist and breakage in high torque Chrysler 47RH, 47RE and 48RE diesel applications. Compared to the best 300M 23-spline shafts, the Sonnax input shaft is 35% stronger at both the spline portion of the shaft and the sealing ring/cross-hole area of the shaft, eliminating all concerns of failure at these critical points.

The longer direct (front) clutch hub portion of the shaft has longer splines that allows for one extra (OE-thickness) direct friction plate when used with included thinner billet aluminum direct piston, all while keeping OE-thickness steels, backing plate, OE waved retaining ring and OE clutch clearances.

Some common aftermarket modifications designed to include extra clutches require reduced steel thickness and decrease the heat absorption capacity of the clutch pack, others reduce clearance and eliminate the waved retaining ring, which contributes to excess 2-3 shift overlap. The Sonnax kit avoids these problems by increasing the number of frictions from five to six, adding to the steel mass of the clutch pack, and maintaining the OE thickness backing plate and clearances for the optimum combination of increased capacity and durability.

Sonnax is an industry leader in the cutting edge design, manufacture and distribution of the highest quality products to the automotive aftermarket, commercial vehicle industries, and industrial sectors utilizing drivetrain technology.
